43. ^^ Yep ^^

I am an IT contractor at an enormous student loan servicing company (cough cough) which shall remain anonymous (cough cough). In the same boat as you, although in this case, they fired several hundred fte's a couple years ago ... there's nobody still here with legacy knowledge of systems and processes, so I spend most of my time spinning my wheels trying to get questions answered. The existing fte's are also head down & trying not to get fired. They put the fear of unemployment in everyone back then. This place is like a mortuary for the most part.

Pretty goddamn frustrating. On one hand, I can't wait for the contract to end so I can GTF outta here, on the other, I don't know that I'll have enough $$ saved by then to float for a couple months until something else comes up. Actively looking for my next gig.
